The Killer Within

After 50 years of silence, Bob Bechtel, a seemingly average professor and father, decides now is the time to reveal to his family and friends a long-buried secret. In 1955, as a Swarthmore undergraduate, Bob shot and killed a sleeping dorm mate, a reaction to years of being bullied. This revelation creates repercussions within his family, amongst his friends and sends shockwaves well beyond his community.
